…the next time some clueless person hands out mass-produced Thank You notes. Particularly those brides who give their wedding guests a pre-printed, generic, scrolled Thank You as some wedding “favor”.
My 10 year old niece Jenny had a birthday party after which her mother asked her to write Thank You notes to her guests. Jenny proceeded to write one very nice note and showed it to her mother for approval. Jenny then proceeded to photocopy that note, cut it down to envelope size and black out the salutation, writing in the new name next to it by hand. My niece thought she had been extremely clever but my sister informed her that a photocopied “Thank You” note was not acceptable. Jenny argued a little bit about it but then her wise mother asked “So I suppose it’d be OK if I gave you a photocopied $20 bill??” End of argument – new Thank You’s written and points for my wise sister! 1015-10
